1719 Carte Nouvelle des Terres de Cucan, de Canara, de Malabar, de Madura, et de Coromandel ..., by Henri Chatelain; 20¼ x 16¾ inches, uncoloured.

The map was published out of Amsterdam circa 1719 as part of Chatelain’s seven volume "Atlas Historique". The map shows from Goa and Nelour to the southern tip of India in exceptional detail. The Western Ghats mountain range runs the length of the coast while hills, forests and indigenous animals are engraved throughout. Cities, villages, ports, and bays are noted along the coast while the interior focuses on larger cities and regional divisions. Two text boxes present the history of the area and a table presents a breakdown of the various kingdoms, capitals, and cities within each province.

Usual central reinforcement and with small mounting tape on the edges. Photo
